OREGON to the B1G

I have a hard time believing 'ESPN' who reported the $30 million with $1 million escalator per year.
ESPN doesn't like this deal because it doesn't benefit them one iota. It's competition so I'd expect them to try to quash any excitement about it.

This isn't 2011 media rights monies and the projections I've seen start in the $35-$40 million range first year.

These were Nebraska's numbers before getting full distribution.

Nebraska
2011: $14 million
2012: $15.4 million (9.5% increase)
2013: $16.9 million (9.2% increase)
2014: $18.7 million (10.1% increase)
2015: $22 million (16.2% increase)
2016: $26 million (16.6% increase)
2017: $51 million (Full distribution)

Now do those % increases at $35-$40 million.

At first year $35 million with a 9.5% increase to year 2, that goes to $38.3 million.
A $3.3 million bump

UO president believes they will average $50M a year over the the media cycle.
 
Wow, only $30m. That's less than a 50% share. With all the extra travel, they aren't going to be making much more than what they would have in the P12.

I have a hard time believing that figure.

Consider the source..... ESPN who doesn't like this expansion one bit. It benefits them zero.

The projections I've heard are $35 - $40 million.

I've seen it reported by more than ESPN. I'd be surprised if it is that low, but that's what's out there.

No matter what it is, it’s going to be a lot more than the pac12 was offering.

Yes. And money isn't the problem for Oregon. We can cover a 5-6 year money gap. The bigger issue was exposure and getting into one of the P2 leagues.

The B1G Channel will have any game that Oregon or Washington misses on broadcast TV.

West Coast, call your cable company.
Or you can get BTN as non-newbs know it as….
 
I’m still kind of shocked that the B10 skimmed the best teams off the top of the pc12 and left the rest to die.
